Chapter 1498 Main Mission
Chapter 1498 Main Mission
【Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties】, 【Undying Evil God】, Lili Mei, 【The Deepest Affection in Kyushu】, number 78952, these five players, as the first team to complete the assessment task, received their own unique main quest the moment they were brought to the Haotian World by Feng Mo.
[Triggering the first stage of the main quest: Choosing a faction!]
[Rank: High-grade Heaven Rank]
【Mission Description: An ancient dynasty that reigns supreme over a region, a strange temple that reaches the heavens, a majestic Buddhist sect whose faith is found everywhere, and a vast and turbulent martial world filled with bloodshed. This is a unique world, full of danger and opportunity!】
As the first pioneers, you need to choose a faction to join in order to unlock the second phase of the main quest.
[Task Requirements: Choose one faction, listed below (Tang Dynasty, Xiling Temple, Moon Wheel Buddhist Sect, World Alliance, Search God Palace, Heavenly Gate, Southern Jin Sword Pavilion.)]
[Mission Rewards: 10 experience points, +3 chances to die without taking damage]
[Note: As the first player team to pass the assessment, you will be exempt from the assessment and will directly gain a higher status and position if you choose Tianxia Hui, Tianmen, Nanjin Jiange, or Wushuang City as your initial faction.]
[Note: When in the Haotian World, players can only use non-death attempts to offset deaths. Once the attempts are exhausted and the player dies, they will be forcibly logged out and enter a ten-game-day cooldown period.]
Their choice was naturally the World Society.
Since the previous assessment task had already given them hints that they should learn more about information related to Fengyun, the Tianxia Society was like a beginner's village for them, allowing them to get in touch with the main characters as soon as possible.
This is the only option that must be selected.
As for forces outside of their privileges, they didn't even consider them. After all, if they had privileges and didn't use them, wouldn't they have wasted their time being the first player team to complete the assessment task?
However, to the five players' surprise, upon arriving in the Haotian World, they immediately appeared at the Heavenly Gate.
Then, it was still Di Shitian, who always wore a mask, who threw it directly to Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Society.
Xiong Ba arranged for the five of them to join the newly established branches of the World Society.
The leader of this branch is Duan Lang, and the five of them are the only five members of the branch.
These successive changes completely baffled them.
What's even more bewildering is the sudden start of the second stage of the main quest.
[Triggering the second stage of the main quest: Rising Fame!]
[Grade: High Grade of Desolate Grade]
[Mission Description: You have successfully joined the World Society, but now you face exclusion and hostility from members of other branches. To earn sufficient respect, you need to demonstrate certain abilities. Only in this way can you gain the trust of Branch Leader Duan Lang and World Society Leader Xiong Ba.]
[Task Requirement: Raise the reputation of Tailang Hall to 1000 points within one month.]
[Mission Rewards: 100 million experience points to be distributed among the team; each member gains 5 more chances to die without taking damage! Duan Lang's favorability increases! Xiong Ba's favorability increases!]
[Note: The current reputation of Tailang Hall is 100 points.]
[Note: Feel free to think outside the box; there's more than one way to enhance your reputation.]
After the five players met their leader, who was lying on a sickbed, at the Tianxia Hui's medical clinic and were casually dismissed, they began to discuss quietly at the branch office that Xiong Ba had arranged for them.
"This is a pretty good start, much better than the hiding and dodging in the dungeon assessment missions."
"I think so too, and Duan Lang is the big boss of the second part of Fengyun, so we can get a lot of benefits by following him!"
"But have you noticed a problem? The mission description mentions Duan Lang, not Duan Lang. Is it possible for a mission description to contain a typo?"
"Does that matter? I also think that Xiong Ba looks somewhat similar to the King of Wuwei who died before!"
"How are they similar? Their temperaments are completely different. One is a king, the other a tyrant."
"Quack, quack, quack!"
After everyone chatted idly for a while, the other four players all turned their attention to Niu Niu. This was a tacit understanding they had reached during the assessment task: they could split up to do the parts they were good at, but they had to ensure that there was only one voice in the team.
After thinking for a moment, Niu Niu's gaze first fell on the [Undying Evil God].
"Your racial characteristics dictate that you will kill a lot of people. Judging from the situation in this mutant world, your upper limit is probably very high. I just glanced at Bu Jingyun's situation at the medical hall, and he is only at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
This means that he is currently at his lowest point. Would defeating Xiong Ba mean he has reached the Dharma Aspect Realm? Would fighting Di Shitian mean he has broken through to the Heavenly Evolution Realm? And after fighting Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi, would he break through to the Immortal Realm?
This clearly shows that our combat strength is only good enough for the early stages.
What's even more troublesome is that in the initial list of factions, I also saw the Hidden Sword School, which won't appear until the third part, and the Xuanhua Ship, controlled by Laughing at the World.
"Boss Niu, what do you mean?"
"We need war. Although our main mission hasn't reached that far yet, thinking back to the previous assessments, we must always ensure that we can maximize our combat power."
Only war can allow you to create a zombie domain capable of fighting against a large army.
Only in war can I take advantage of the title's effect to fish in troubled waters.
The Undying Evil God nodded in deep agreement. As for how to start a war, that's not urgent. They need to figure out the situation in this world first.
Then Niu Niu looked at Lili.
Lili raised her hand and spoke up.
"I understand! What I should do most is to quietly mass produce troops! Especially mechanical soldiers that can unleash black fire and generate black fire force fields!"
Niu Niu gave Lili a look of approval.
He then looked at [The Most Affectionate Person in Kyushu].
After thinking for a moment, Brother Shenqing said.
"What I should do most is go out and sell my reputation. Obviously, there aren't many opportunities for me to make a difference in this World Society. Kong Ci is obviously a hot potato, and as for You Ruo, I just asked around and there's no one here."
Either Xiong Ba protected her very well, or this mutated world of Fengyun simply deleted her.
As for the other female leads, they are even more difficult to deal with. Chu Chu is a poor girl, and I won't get any benefits from being a gold digger. On the contrary, I might incur Jian Chen's jealousy. Second Dream is a little rich woman, but I don't have much confidence in her. After all, her situation with Nie Feng seems to be somewhat predetermined.
Even though Yan Ying is old enough to be my mother, I don't mind too much. It's just that she's probably overseas now.
The Heavenly Gate's Divine Mother, Luo Xian, is quite capable, but I think we need to first clarify our current position. After all, Di Shitian's attitude towards Xiong Ba just now clearly indicated a superior addressing a subordinate.
"So, do you have a target yet?" Niu Niu clearly understood the other person. This rambling was just to highlight his own abilities and prove how correct his choice of the person was.
Sure enough, the sentimental guy nodded.
"I've checked the list of available factions, and Madam Ao of Baijian Manor is one of them. She's in charge of all the power, especially since Baijian Manor is very wealthy, but its strength is quite average."
Judging from the fact that even Bu Jingyun is only at the Celestial Phenomenon Perfection stage, that Sword Demon is most likely only at the Dharma Aspect stage.
With your strength, Boss Niu, plus Lili's support with the Black Fire Field, killing him shouldn't be difficult.
Then I'll take the opportunity to win over Madam Ao, and we'll finally have a base of influence of our own."
After pondering the suggestion, all the players present nodded in agreement.
Because, as it stands, Baijian Manor is a rare combination of being weak, incredibly wealthy, and easily exploited by Shenqing Ge.
Then, the goose, head held high and chest puffed out, looked at Niu Niu and its gaze shifted to itself.
"Your words"
The pause lasted a full minute, and the goose's neck was getting tired from stretching so much before it finally heard Niu Niu speak.
"Live well, don't let anyone catch you and kill you. With you here, we can at least use the squad title to increase our combat power. Losing one of you will always weaken our overall strength."
"Quack, quack, quack!"
The goose was very unhappy!
He was the first player to play during the open beta!
"So what are you going to do? We don't know if there are any ferocious beasts outside, but obviously beasts aren't the main thing. How about you bind a resurrection point and then try your luck in Lingyun Cave?"
"Quack quack!"
The goose, head held high and chest puffed out, flapped its wings and flew away as Niu Niu had instructed, after completing the binding process.
Niu Niu didn't stop them. They all brought the new type of communication tokens that the Ghost Market had just issued. If they really wanted to take action against Baijian Villa, they could just quickly recall them. As for now, it was indeed difficult for them to play a significant role in the World Society.
As for the issue of reputation, that is not the problem that is holding them back.
In the last assessment task, they learned how to prepare in advance to deal with potentially more difficult tasks in the future.
"Let's disband now and go find out what's going on, but pay attention to the warnings in the mission instructions. The members of those gangs might not be very friendly to us."
"Is a bad attitude considered workplace bullying? What should we do then?"
"Just beat them up! You need to understand one thing: our leader is Duan Lang, and he's destined to go all out without restraint. By the way, we also need to seriously investigate the fact that he and Bu Jingyun are both lying in the medical hall."
Immediately afterwards, Niu Niu, [Undying Evil God], Deep Affection Brother, and Lili Sister began to roam around the World Society using their own methods.
Throughout the entire process, Feng Mo and Qin Fan remained in the shadows, observing from the sidelines.
"My lord, shouldn't we give them some more hints?"
"Let's experiment freely for now and wait for the right opportunity."
The power structure of the Haotian world has already been basically established. Now, the only area they can interfere with is the martial arts world. Therefore, the development path proposed by Brother Shenqing is correct, but some things cannot be done too hastily.
After all, those old guys were still watching him in the shadows.
After beating the young one, the older one came; after beating the older one, the old one came; even the old one was beaten black and blue. Only then was it the best time for him to stand up and demand an explanation.
Or perhaps, before these behemoths collide, they tacitly eliminate the neutral faction.
However, now the Fengyun faction is basically all closely related to the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns, and the so-called neutral faction has long since taken sides.
On the contrary, there are several characters in the Nightfall series who are very suitable to launch a sudden attack on him.
"Wind, come with me."
Then the two figures disappeared into the void.
-
A teahouse on the official road.
A man dressed as a butcher is slaughtering a sheep to entertain a passing caravan, while not far away, a drunkard is also drinking heavily.
Their names are also Butcher and Drunkard.
In the original work, these two people experienced the last eternal night together and survived for tens of thousands of years, and were known as the two greatest cultivators who lived the longest in the human world.
The butcher, who had slaughtered pigs, sheep, cattle, and humans for countless years, was known for his strength in killing. In recent years, he had lived in seclusion and killed far fewer people, not because of a change in his mindset, but because of the Master's requirements.
Although he was powerful, he chose to live in seclusion out of fear of Haotian and refused the Master's proposal to join forces against Haotian.
The other drunkard was in a similar situation. As a top expert in the cultivation world at the Boundless Realm, he and the Butcher chose to live in seclusion and avoid battle because they were afraid of death. Later, due to the promise of the Abbot Chen, they chased after Sang Sang and were surrounded by Ning Que and Chao Xiaoshu.
Ultimately, due to his involvement in the pursuit of Haotian Sangsang, he was framed and killed by Ning Que and Chao Xiaoshu. Chao Xiaoshu, who possessed Liu Bai's divine sword, delivered the fatal blow.
In this stitched-together Haotian World, their situation is more comfortable because the three-polar situation is relatively stable, and the two who have stepped into the Immortal Realm are both extremely rare and effective combat forces.
Therefore, getting them to remain neutral would be the best outcome for all three parties.
Similarly, they are not subject to too much restraint. For example, when the butcher gets addicted, he will kill passersby at will. If the drunkard gets even more drunk, he will go on a rampage and kill anyone he sees.
In fact, once they reach the realm of immortality, in their eyes, humans below them are no longer considered to be of the same kind as them.
The fundamental difference in their lives made the two realize that what they had done was no different from accidentally stepping on some ants.
The Master, who originally had strict constraints on them in the world of Ever Night, is now even less able to pay attention to the two of them. Otherwise, the two of them would have been inclined to side with the Western Mausoleum Temple because they were too afraid of Haotian.
If he were to give it another push, it could very well result in Haotian's side gaining two more immortal powerhouses.
Of course, any normal Immortal Realm cultivator wouldn't join Haotian's camp, since this guy only cares about food, not teammates.
Similarly, for Qin Fan now, these two Immortal Realm cultivators are also two rare and powerful medicinal herbs.
"What do you two gentlemen need?" The butcher was perfectly normal when he was at his best, but unfortunately, Qin Fan and Feng Mo, whom he had encountered, were currently in a rather abnormal state.
"I see you have a few pigs tied up over there. Slaughter one for me. I'll only take ten catties of lean meat to make minced meat, and make sure there's not a single bit of fat on it."
"Alright," the butcher readily agreed.
After all, this request wasn't excessive, especially considering Qin Fan and Feng Mo's attire, which clearly indicated they came from a wealthy family who were very particular about food.
As for why someone wanted raw meat on this official road, he didn't ask. After all, he had lived for so many years and had seen all sorts of strange things.
After he finished his work and wrapped it up, he heard Qin Fan say something else.
"I want another ten pounds, all fat, without any lean meat on it, and I want to chop it up and make it into a topping."
After hearing this, the butcher's gaze towards Qin Fan became somewhat strange. (End of Chapter)
